cuCH trees are III DltOIH, anu ii nOlll-
ing occurs to injure them we will have
an abundant crop of peaches in the
country this year.
Master Henry Wilcox, the five year
old son OF Mrs. Jennie Wilcox, is quite
sick. The mother and child have the
sympathy Of our people in their Attic
ton.
Rev. N. E. Bagwell, who recently
removed from Adams Station to the
farm which he purchased near Ring
gold, visited his sister Mrs. j. NJ. Lar
kin, last Monday. Mr.. Bagwell is ma
tive of Montgomery county, and is
worthy christian gentleman.
At this season of the year, before our
street was macadamized it was almost
impossible. Although it is much SUI
perior to what it used be it could be i'm
proved greatly. The recent heavy rains
and the constant wear and tear by
wagons loaded with tobacco, etc., is cut
ting through the metal considerably
Good turnpike roads and free bridges
would help the business of our city
more than some other things that are
being talked about at present.
There has sufficient gas been ex-
pended here about in the last forty
years, in regard to starting various en-
terprises, to have constructed wind
mill with capacity to run all the ma
chinery in two states. Cooperation,
concentrated capital and less talk, is
what is needed, and is all that is needed
to bring about boom" "Now is the
accepted me,"-to-day. Start the
ball in various small enterprises, and
then capital and Drawn and brain will
come in to keep it in motion.
The usual quiet of our neighborhood
was much disturbed by difficulty be-
tween J. B. Brickhouse and young
Henry Robbins last Monday evening.
From all we can gather it appears that
Brickhouse was quarrelling with his
family and it is also said that he had
abused one of his step-daughters, when
Henry Robbins, nephew of Mrs.
Brickhouse, interposed to protect them,
and was stabbed by Brickhouse, the
knife cutting him just below the heart.
Constable G. Lowe and Policeman Stat
ford arrested Brickhouse, and young
Robbins was carried in at Mr.. J. j
Prewitt's residence where his wound
was properly attended to by Drs
Trawick and Beaumont. Brickhouse
was tried before S. A. Caldwell, ESQ.
on Tuesday evening, and acquainted
upon the ground Of self-defense.
In these days when we get men in
Office who discharge the duties incum
bent upon them without fear or favor
and who act with fidelity in handling
their finances, we think they should b.
retained in such offices SO long as the,
continue to act thus. In the person o
Charlie Lowe, our district constable, W,
have a man OF this kind, and all VIII,
place business IN his hands may rel,
upon having it strictly and faithfully at
tended to.
If Judge DeBose, of Memphis, ha,
carried out his idea of stripping our oil
friend David P. Hadden's official robe
from him and sending him tor a tern
to the work house, there would hav
: been brisk demand for AUaLancht
las Cave used to call Ambulances)
have carried off the wounded. Th
president of the taxing district OF Mem
phis is conscientiously honest in III
: discharge of his duties, and KNOWN
; this, Judge DuBose should not hav
been so severe in his criticism of Nj
Hadden's official acts. Since thi
official reprimand we see that quite
number of the most prominent either
met at the Cotton Exchange and pr,
! sented Mr.. Hadden with magnifcer
silver set, numbering lis pieces, an
valued at 81 900, as recognition of h
, fidelity and ability. A satin card, a
tached to one OF the cases Of silver, rea
"To David P. Hadden, President of tn
, Taxing District-from his friends"-
, with fifty signatures. His old FRIEND
, in GAINESVILLE will be glad to know tn;
his true worth as an honorable, enc
! getic business man is so much appr,
, ciated in Memphis.
